Stir Crazy

So this is what happens when I do not get to dive with a camera in my hand for a while. All kinds of strange images materialize. What happens to you when you've been out of the water too long, especially if you are not taking photographs?

I probably shouldn't mention this, because someone here like Loftus has probably got the artistry, drive, and budget to do it before me. But I've always wanted to try and 'stage' - either thru a single shot or with some creative shot overlays and props - some of Michael Parkes' work as a photograph. Some of his kind of art deco 'angels', usually with some sort of animal familiar, for example...

Instead as I dessicate, out of seawater for too long, I play with a 3D printer trying to make new underwater photo gear parts, or play with macro shots of insects at the local butterfly house...
